Spatial Statistics for Data Science by Paula Moraga

Spatial data is crucial to improve decision-making in a wide range of fields including environment, health, ecology, urban planning, economy, and society. This book describes statistical methods, modeling approaches, and visualization techniques to analyze spatial data using R.

"Spatial Statistics for Data Science: Theory and Practice with R is a well-crafted guide that explores visualization techniques and statistical methods, essential for analyzing spatial data using RThe book provides a detailed overview of typical types of spatial data and the R packages necessary for their retrieval, manipulation, and visualization. Then, it delves into the modeling and methodological aspects of spatial statistics while maintaining a focus on practical applications, demonstrated through fully reproducible examples using publicly accessible spatial data."
